The concept of shame needs to be resusitated in our all-too-often shameless culture.

double Ping!

And they keep wondering why they lost...

Amazing.

Why do research on this, anymore? Let's just cut to the chase.

Every single person on Earth was, is, and shall be gay. Gay gay gay. Being gay is normal. If you are anti-homosexuality, you're wrong.

Incrementalism is so passe. The gay establishment should just go for the jugular and start with an 'Everyone is gay' campaign.

"until the Thirteenth Century, there was "no organized opposition to homosexuality" either from the church or from society in general."
If they actually make this claim i can show them several texts proving them wrong. Not only is it in the torah for a man not to lie with another man, it is also in numerous other jewish texts written a thousand years before the 1300's. I'm sure there is an abundance of christian writings saying the same thing well before 1300.

Interesting. I hoped to read more of this, but the link you posted doesn't have this story. Can you supply a link to the actual story, so Freepers can read it?

[Zionist Conspirator]

LOL! Actually, I predicted long ago (before I ever had a computer) that the "gays" would claim David and Jonathan because the Hebrew text of Parashat Machar Chodesh (I Samuel 20) reads that David and Jonathan hugged and kissed "`ad David higdil" (which could perhaps be translated "until David grew large").

Looks like someone took my joke a little too seriously!

[Betaille]

there is absolutely no condemnation of homosexuality in the Hebrew Old Testament.

This is just blatantly false. Direct quote from the torah "A man shall not lie with another man as one would with a woman, for it is an abomination"

Homosexual Agenda PING -

When all else fails, re-write history!

Unfortunately for this particular group of heathen, no one is buying into their screed.

If you want on or off the pinglist, let me or littlejeremiah know.

Well, that explains the whole Bethsheba incident.

[fso301]

The continental Anglo-Saxon tribes only allowed capital punishment in two cases: cowardice and homosexuality.

[Unam Sanctam]

"Old Testament clearly indicates that King David had a homosexual relationship with Jonathan, the son of King Saul."

It does no such thing. It is possible for men to have platonic friendships. It is only the current sex-crazed culture that has to interpret everything in terms of sex.

[InvisibleChurch]

that's going to be quite the conversation between The Ancient of Days and the University of Georgia on Judgement Day

[Diogenesis]

CBS found a fax from King David proving this, no doubt.

[John Lenin]

Im'm sure the hate crimes laws protected gays in those days. Who are you morons fooling ? Yourselves !

[pete anderson]

King James as in the King James of the King James Bible was also a Homosexual.

[Lancey Howard]

I think I heard that King David and Jonathan had a homosexual orgy with Abe Lincoln and Alexander. Maybe Oliver Stone can do another porn movie about it.

[Lancey Howard]

By the way, have the scumbags of the sodomy lobby found any great men in history who WEREN'T perverts like themselves?

[fella]

Was this stuff written by the same guy that wrote "The DaVinci Code"?

[longtermmemmory]

The untranslated greek version is very clear on homosexuality.

Homosexuals are just practicing big lie theory. Goebles would be proud of his homosexual inheritors.

[Verginius Rufus]

This sounds like it is based on a book by John Boswell (1947-1994), Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality. Boswell was a homosexual with an agenda...from what I've heard about the book, he engages in a lot of special pleading to try to get around inconvenient evidence...in other words, claiming that words don't mean what they appear to mean.

In I Kings 15.12, King Asa of Judah is praised for expelling the male shrine prostitutes from the land (NIV translation--the KJV has "sodomites").
